The spacious College Library is an important resource centre, primarily intended to provide undergraduate readers with the books they need for their studies. There is also a separate Law Library with a valuable and increasing collection of legal works. Christ Church Library contains what is probably the largest and richest collection of early printed books and manuscripts in Oxford after the Bodleian Library. Its holdings are of international importance and are particularly rich in music, theology, classics, travel books, numismatics, early science, medicine and Hebrew studies.
Important notice
The Library will be closed to all external readers during major building work from April to late October 2010.

Music on the Move: Transmissions, Revisions, Editions - a new exhibition in Christ Church Upper Library, including: musical works-in-progress (compositional drafts); works transmitted in more than one state (perhaps because of a composer's changes of mind); music that circulated in single-sheet format; pieces adapted to make them fit for different uses; and modern editions that change the appearance of musical works.
